I have to go with OzRay on this one.  There are a lot of things besides overall sharpness that goes into IQ.  Actually, after a certian point (I believe the 50-200 is at that point) more sharpness ...

I am glad you found it useful and also that you enjoy my wildlife post.  I like story telling and combining my photos with words about the adventure behind them is a great way to tell stories.

Glad you enjoyed reading the post. I liked my Ultimate but when it met it’s demise I wanted something a little more stable and a higher payload ability.  Was looking at getting one of the longer ...

Really?  Why not just shoot with composition in mind, solves a lot of problems.

Sorry but I don’t buy that.  There are places around me that have restrictions like can’t leave the trail or boardwalk, so I don’t go to those places.  You can always find a place that doesn’t ...

Yes it was and I can’t wait to get back out there to observe and photograph. They are pretty interesting, especially in their breeding colors and plumage. I have always picked up whatever trash I ...

just something you learn to deal with when you live in gator country. always am.................

You may want to re-check.  Everyone participating in This thread are people I respect and trust.  Take it for what it is worth.  After re-reading thru it I would personally not trust a Panny lens ...

I completely agree with this......it is a slow consumer lens, no matter how badly the Panasonic people want to assume otherwise.  Resolution wise it slots right in between the Sigma C and S ...

LOLOLOL, you sure you can meet his taste?

you didn't search an forums very hard..................it's the most bookmarked thread in the m4/3 forum and over on MU-43.com it's also pinned at the top of the Olympus camera section Sometimes I ...

LOLOLOLOLOL.......................

You are welcome

No idea, but after 2 years it is still going strong.  Really?  Photographers (well at least wildlife photographers) have been making them for years.  That company was just the first to make one to ...

and people wonder why I don’t trust Panasonic weather sealing.  there is also pretty strong evidence (long threads over on mu43.com) that cross brand weather sealing is not compatible.  The gasket ...

Sample images would go a long way............along with technical details about the photo like SAF or CAF, how much crop, handheld or tripod.  Would also be helpful to know shooting distance (data ...

LOL, probably.  I am actually thinking about getting one of these to replace my skimmer pod.  It should perform the same function with the added benefit of being good for some other things.  Being ...

All of the gator and snake shots I posted above were taken from land.  I do shoot from my kayak a lot but gators are much easier to photograph from land. That actually happens a lot.  I have been ...

You also have to remember that most people out there don’t think it’s something that needs to be done on a mirrorless camera.  So had to go into how PDAF works and why it does need to be done on ...

Not really needed, just more stuff to get hung up on when crawling thru the bush.  Plus I shoot in the swamps and the skimmer is almost always in or under water.
